Employee Training
Schiber Truck Company employees receive classroom training that utilizes a program tailored to meet DOT’s hazardous materials requirements for the shipping and handling of hazardous materials, wastes, and substances, as well as defensive driving techniques. Our hazwoper training is conducted annually and our other safety training programs are held monthly. Each driver is required to attend one meeting per quarter.
The hazmat modular training program we use was written by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Transportation. This program is updated on an annual basis and presented to the employees. Our hazwoper program was written by the Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training and the University of Illinois. A third party administrator handles our drug and alcohol testing.
Along with classroom training, drivers are given hands-on field training for a minimum of two weeks. This training is provided by an experienced driver/trainer to instruct the proper usage of equipment for handling, loading and unloading. Driver reviews are performed at the end of the field training and randomly to ensure the information is retained and in practice.
